Herbert Hoover

    Herbert Hoover, een figuur uit de Amerikaanse geschiedenis, was niet alleen een mijnbouwingenieur en president, maar ook een auteur. Zijn geloof in 'economische modernisering' door overheidsinterventie en de efficiëntiebeweging vormden zijn benadering van maatschappelijke en economische uitdagingen. Hij benaderde elk probleem met de overtuiging dat er een technische oplossing bestond. Hoewel zijn presidentschap werd overschaduwd door de Grote Depressie, blijven zijn inspanningen om deze te bestrijden, zowel door vrijwillige actie als door overheidsmaatregelen, een belangrijk aspect van zijn nalatenschap.
